Italian Restaurants San Francisco

Italian cuisine reigns as one of the most popular types of food today because it remains flavorsome despite containing an average of only four to eight ingredients of high quality typically cooked with basic techniques. Because most traditional Italian recipes have been passed down in families from one generation to the next, almost everyone can try their hand at cooking delicious masterpieces. Still, each San Francisco Italian restaurant features a sumptuous array of pastas in all shapes and sizes, pizzas, soups and stews that usually contain tomatoes, olive oil, and cheeses in addition to a generous sprinkling of herbs and spices. Unlike its simple savory counterparts, desserts range from creamy gelatos to decadent pastries, cakes and even stuffed pasta! So while you're enjoying the beautiful sites of San Francisco, be sure to drop by one of its many restaurants for a taste of Italy.
